    He seems a bit unsure at times on offense. I'd like him to be more assertive when possible. Need to see some aggressive Wood.

    6 sets, not 6 plays you dimwit.

    And you are the genius who came up with the number 6 (after backtracking from 3) and the source you provided was only talking about ATO's.

    You still just dont get it.

    Go re-read your own article.

    I understand the defense comments, but those might have been the two worst matchups in the league for him. The number of skilled bully-ball centers in the NBA who can punish a weak center down low is very, very low ... and those were probably the best.
    I think Wood will fare better against the other lanky, dribble-drive-dunk centers. And cousins will play the few remaining bruisers

    Still no sources for what is "typical of NBA offenses"?

    Blah blah blah blah

    You just wasting my time.

    His body is not strong vs big center. Luckily we have Cousins. Silias can consider to move him in the power forward position for the next game.

    Davis is stronger and more polished and better at this time , but Woods is more athletic from a speed and run and jump perspective. Wood could possibly be slightly better than Davis in a year or two if keeps developing.

    Umm let's not get ahead of ourselves. Davis type players are extremely rare. Davis is a top 5 player and some argue he's top 3. I don't think he is going to be a top 5 but player but that's ok because hes going to be pretty damn good at this rate..

    It should say, "The one that put Wood in the Rockets hands and the one that take Westbrook from the Rockets hands."

    Well based on 3 games for Wood and 4 for Davis , Wood wins on PPG, RB, FG% 3pt %, FT% eFG% PER
    Only on Assists 3.8 vs 2.3 does Davis prevail. Small sample, but we will see.

    The funniest thing about the Westbrook situation is he is actually doing worse than the LACK of John Wall. He is not even better than John Wall in a cast.

    Funny thing is if Westbrook isn't playing there this year even if Wall was still hurt i bet you Wizards would have 1 to 2 wins at worst.

    Davis's sample size spans his whole career, not just 4 games.

    Wood's numbers in previous seasons were nowhere close to what they are. He is starting to get to a higher level just now. Very promising. But I agree not to get ahead of ourselves too soon.
